From Casey.... Chris and I have been friends since we were 5 and 4 years old respectively. The first game we remember playing together was called, ‘deer hunting’. We lived just one house down from each other. We had plans to start our own skateboard company, Krajow Inc. I think we were going to own a speedboat together at one point too. Maybe a little late for the skateboard company, but at least we a have a cool company name in place. Several people have commented they always thought we were brothers since we spent so much time together. By high school, we mastered communication to a series of grunts. Trust me, that means we are close. Chris and I are about to share another adventure together. As many of you know, Chris’s kidneys are failing and I will be donating one of mine to him. You can find out more about that here http://kidney4kraemer.weebly.com/. We have our surgery scheduled for December 16, 2014. While insurance is covering a large portion of the surgery for me and Chris, there are significant out of pocket costs that we need to cover. Chris, his wife Caryn and I will be taking unpaid leave while we recover. A surgery like this affects not just me and Chris, but this impacts our wives, kids and families. If you are able and would like to donate, whatever is collected will be used to offset lost wages and incurred medical costs for us during this time. We are extremely grateful for your consideration.
